Taylor Cella: Volunteer

To be honest, the only reason I attended camp last year was because my parents wanted me to. I was super nervous about going up, I'd never been away from home, and completely shut away from the world for that long. My parents convinced me that it would be an awesome opportunity, and that it would also look good on college applications and such. Once I got up there, my whole view on camp completely changed. I can think of a better way to end my summer than going up and spending a week with such amazing people. I cried at the end of the week because I didn't want it to be over! The moment I left I made up my mind that I was going again every year that I could. This year I'm going again because I want to, not because my parents want me to. I made so many friends up at camp, and am still super close with a lot of the people I met, especially with my cute camper. My advice to anyone considering volunteering is simple: no matter if you're nervous, or questioning going, just go. Whatever doubts you have will all vanish the second you get up to camp. You will not regret it!
